If there is no option to use a Sangheili character model in multiplayer on Halo: Reach, I will return the disk to Gamestop.
I don't think you should play Halo at all if you only do it to play as a dinosaur in MM.

First of all, they don't look like dinosaurs, and even if they did, dinosaurs are freakin' epic.

Secondly, I don't only play Halo to play as an Elite. I may use the character model all the time because the Elite fiction is so overwhelmingly epic, but the reason I would return the game is because if the choice was made to not include Elites in multiplayer, it would have beeen more than likely influenced by stupid people like yourself and the person who started this thread. Which means I would have to return the game out of principle, because I wouldn't spend money on a game that is at all influenced by stupid people.


Pretty much this.

I used an Elite model all through Halo 2, and only switched to a Spartan for Halo 3 because Elites got crap for armor perms.

they definetly need better armor

I'm guessing you also don't want something like the katana because you can shoot that too. I like elites because I like the way they look.

For the Sangheili!

stupid people like yourself
I would appreciate it if you told me how you know me personally and know my IQ? I never once insulted you, but then you go around calling me stupid when you have no idea who I am or where I live.

Calm down, it's the internet.

Eh, I probably shouldn't have been so quick to insult you, for which I apologize for, but I'm rather confident in my ability to measure your intelligence based on what you write, and what you wrote was stupid.

Who said I wasn't calm? I don't understand the point of trying to take an imaginary high-road and belittle what I said. Not caring as much doesn't mean you have a larger perspective on the matter, it just means you may not have as strong a view as I do.

But uh, I'd rather keep the discussion revolving around the original post before this turns into something stupid and it gets locked, or something.

first of all they are a race of nocle aliens and they could own you. why does everyone call em dinos


You sound like a nerd.

Anyway, if there aren't elites in Reach, it won't make much sense. Maybe the OP should stop crying and deal with not being able to headshot an elite from behind.

  • 11.05.2009 5:38 PM PDT

KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!

Actually the reason people don't use Elites is because in Halo CE and Halo 2 you were taught to hate them as the main enemy force. Also, racism in part because people think humans are better than any alien life.

I'm personally an Elite fanatic and am really hoping that they keep true to the storyline and make them the leading enemies again instead of the Brutes.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Seriously the only players who use elites aren't very good.


That, sir, is a lie. The truth is it isn't that Elites are bad, its that good players CHANGE TO SPARTANS because they get this aspiring desire to go MLG. I know 2 players that are 50 who could care less about MLG, they always play Elites, and I myself am a 45 in Lone Wolves. I NEVER EVER change player model.

Seriously the only players who use elites aren't very good. The only time you see an elite used in higher ranks is in SWAT. If they are in Reach they should fix them so they can be shot from behind as you would a Spartan. Also fix the part of the elites neck you can shoot through that doesn't hurt them.


You're obviously a second accounter, so I won't waste my time.

If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

There are many big elite fans. I doubt that they would ever get away from constant flaming.
True, but you could say the same about elite haters. Personally i wouldn't care if they are or if they are not on the game (im not a lover nor a hater) but if they don't add them, they still have a legit excuse for it.

Actually, this thought just came to mind: I distinctly remember owning ALOT more bad SPARTAN players than ELITE. If ELITE players are so bad, why are there MORE BAD SPARTANS.

Uh...what? I don't hate elites. I don't play as them, but I don't hate them. Maybe in campaign I pretend to hate them, but that's not why I don't play as one

Maybe he's a nerd. That could explain why he sounds like a nerd. People sound like who they are a lot of the time.


And Elites ought to be in Halo: Reach. There is no good reason to exclude them. Their hit ratios are almost entirely in line with the Spartan's. The only thing I find objectionable is how bulky their armour is, but I just hope to see them return to their lean pre-Halo 3 aesthetic.
As for the neck thing? Well.. duh. They need to fix that. It is by no means good to have a consistent hole in a multiplayer character model. I'm just glad it's a hole in such a position that it's hard to fall prey to it. I didn't even know of the problem until I watched a Halo 3 Mythbusters thing on it.

Elites should stay in Multiplayer. Also, I'm hoping they're in Reach. Story-wise, it makes sense to see at least a few in campaign too.

Ah, and thats where you are wrong. If you like fiction that much you will realize that Elites were still part of the covenant for the events of Reach. So Bungie could actually get away with cutting them out of the multiplayer.


In multiplayer, Spartans kill Spartans, Elites kill Elites, and they both kill each other. I don't see how fictional affiliation affects multiplayer match-ups. Everyone still kills everyone else.


Once again, I don't think they have a legitimate reason BTE...

I wouldn't go that far, but yeah, I would be pretty pissed too.

Elites and grunts are the main races of the covenant that attacked Reach, why would you not want them in Reach? In Multiplayer people have a choice to be whatever they want.

Because there are more people who use the Spartan model? Its all about ratio. You could have 20 elite players and have all of them suck, and you could have 100 spartan players and have 50 of them suck. You would still have more spartans, yet as far as ratio goes, the elites are in a worse position.

Im not saying that players who use elites suck just trying to explain something.

How many times have you shot through the empty space on the Elite model? Once? I doubt even that.


yeah thats what i was thinking

The story of the game has never, and will never, have any effect on Multiplayer.

The only reason Elites became playable in the first place was because most players asked for them, NOT because in Halo 2 there was the "alliance". And guess what? You guys NEVER COMPLAINED in Halo 2 when they were an easier target, with larger hitboxes. Halo 3 comes around, and they ACTUALLY MAKE IT EVEN, and people like the OP whine about them.

But having Elites in the same team as Spartans? Oh the humanity!!

You might not think its a legitimate reason, and to be honest i dont think its one either since multiplayer has nothing to do with canon, but they still have an excuse to hide behind if they decide not to add them (legit or not).

I make a legitimate thread on the most logical choice for the next Bond actor, and you take that away from me by creating a parody thread indirectly connecting my thread to yours.

I hope your kids have bad influences and develop bad personalities. I wish this with all my heart.
